Cultural holidays in BoliviaTours & holidays in 2018 & 2019

From the Aymara and Quechua of the highlands to the Tacana and Guarani of the Amazon, Bolivia has the highest percentage of indigenous peoples on the continent. Our Bolivia cultural tours will take you trekking with llama farmers, paddling through the pampas with a local guide in search of caiman and anaconda, shopping in witches markets and craft stalls and introduce you to local skills such as piranha fishing and extracting sugarcane juice. Delicioso!

We loved the variety offered by Bolivia, from the stunning mountains of the Altiplano to the breathtaking views over lake Titikaka to the exciting wildlife in the pampas grasslands to the incredible, other-worldly experience of the salt flats and desert. (more)Phil Bland
